Summary
A new instrument, the TITC-T, effectively measures team interactions and creativity in Taiwanese nursing students. This validated tool aids in assessing collaborative skills crucial for healthcare education.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Education
- Nursing Education
- Psychometric Instrument Development
Background:
- Team interactions and creativity are vital for effective collaboration in healthcare.
- No existing instrument measures both team interactions and creativity in Taiwanese healthcare education settings.
- This study addresses the need for a specific measurement tool for nursing students in Taiwan.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a self-report instrument to measure team interactions and creativity.
- The instrument is specifically designed for nursing students in Taiwan.
- To evaluate the psychometric properties of the newly developed instrument.
Main Methods:
- A 34-item self-report instrument, the Team Interactions and Team Creativity for Taiwan (TITC-T), was developed.
- Items assessed constructive controversy, helping behaviors, communication, and creativity.
- Psychometric properties were evaluated using data from 275 nursing students.
Main Results:
- The TITC-T demonstrated high reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.98.
- Confirmatory factor analysis supported a one-dimensional factor structure.
- Goodness-of-fit indices (CFI=0.995, TLI=0.908, RMSEA=0.098) indicated a strong model fit.
Conclusions:
- The TITC-T is a valid and reliable instrument.
- It is suitable for assessing team interactions and creativity among nursing students in Taiwan.
- This tool can inform educational strategies to enhance teamwork in nursing programs.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
